3 bowls, one large and two small. Beginning with a ball of clay, Cristina Salusti pinches it into vessels and textures them with stone fragments. After multiple firings it is finally lustered with a mix of 22K gold and platinum. Its volcanic-like outer wall seems almost protective of its precious center. The vessel attracts and contains ambient light, giving it a spiritual presence.
